I agree with you as to the value that DOES reconnect us :) Its a scary thought to think that we may not be able to communicate with loved ones in the even that this happens. I have hears so many times "You do not have to be afraid if you are prepared". Maybe we all should be thinking about this :) I absolutely love posts like this..Thank you again!!! SUNSHINE247

A real pleasure! yes, I have noticed a particular phenomena with guys on Steemit where their enthusiasm for the platform starts to shoulder into their relationships. Usually around a month or so in the partner joins and often takes to it much more easily. That said, I think as Marshall Mcluhan said, the medium is the message. What you use to say what you say is saying as much as what your are saying. Standing on the lawn with a poster vs late night text from your suitor. The screen has it's potential, but we need to keep the limits in mind too. I think you remember the days of landlines, the world before the internet and google and perhaps, you too miss some of the innocence and charm of those times.... Thanks for the perpetual sunshine @sunshine247 !
Oh do I remember the days of landlines - stretching the phone cord so far down the hallway that it would not longer spring back into place .. and true story, my we used to stay the weekend with our Grandman and when we wanted to call home to talk to our mom, she would make us put a dime in the can on the kitchen table - her phone bill was based on the number of calls she made :) If I did not have a dime, I had to work for it. I never cared that I could not see the other person on the other line, I only cared that I could hear their voice. Wish we could go back to those time :) SUNSHINE247
That is so cute! And a clever system by the women in your life ;) Though you must admit, I bet the first time you had a FACE to FACE skype call, your heart and mind couldn't believe it. I wish I could have both! The magic of limited calls and the first time seeing a distant friend's face. Maybe the great off-lining or Augmented reality will restore the boost/novelty.
So true, so true my friend!!! I am going to continue to follow this post, I am excited to see what other comments are posted :) SUNSHINE247
me too!
